I'm excited for you. Few things can bring the highs and crushing lows like XCOM. From hitting a 20% shot and saving an ally to missing a 95% and losing your beefed up Assault. Such a fun game. If you haven't, the DLC "Enemy Within" adds gene modification and MEC suits to the game. Really lets you diversify your squad and you can end up with some really awesome guys.

  
RIP Jaitely, you were the truest of heroes.

I grabbed the XCOM complete pack so I have Enemy Within, but I wanted to try out the original game first. I can tell I'm enjoying it enough that I will definitely do another play through with the DLC. I look forward to trying it out.

Nice! Nothing wrong with the original. I'd say that it's honestly harder than Enemy Within, since your soldiers are just regular dudes. The best "powers" they get are aiming better or getting a free action somewhere. Watch out for Chryssalids!
